When the Romans’ crucified someone it was to make an example of them. It was a death reserved for rebels. A person that was crucified usually didn’t die quickly. Sometimes a person would endure on a cross for 7 days. When Jesus died after just a few hours the Roman soldiers were surprised. One of them thrust his spear into Jesus side to make sure Jesus was dead. When “water” and blood came out of his side, it showed that his blood had separated, that he was dead. And when did Jesus die? Immediately after he said “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?”

Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit. The Spirit was within him as he suffered on the Cross. If the Holy Spirit had continued to remain within Jesus, would Jesus have remained alive on the Cross indefinitely? But where could the Holy Spirit go? Only where the Father sent him. Look at what happened almost immediately after Jesus death- the earthquake, the eclipse, the tearing of the temple curtain, the raising of the dead from the tombs. Are these events evidence of actions by the Holy Spirit after the Father sent the Spirit from his Son?

Look at the story of Abraham and Isaac. Abraham was told to take the life of his own son. He wasn’t told to take Isaac to a group of people that practiced human sacrifice. He was told to do it himself. Was this a foreshadowing of what the Father would someday have to do?
 
No the Spirit isn’t taken from Jesus and from us if we are suffering or dying.
And Jesus suffered that temporary discouragement as part of His suffering for and with us.
Those were not His last words. His last words were of trust and self-giving

The Death of Jesus
44 It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, 45 for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. 46 Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”[a] When he had said this, he breathed his last. Luke 23:44-46

The answer to your question regarding Jesus is in this scripture:

Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very nature[a] God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature** of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross! Philippians 2**

Jesus and the Holy Spirit are unseparable as they are of the same Trinity.
Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit. The Spirit was within him as he suffered on the Cross. If the Holy Spirit had continued to remain within Jesus, would Jesus have remained alive on the Cross indefinitely? But where could the Holy Spirit go? Only where the Father sent him.

The Holy Spirit, as God, goes where He wills. He is not constrained to a single place at a time. The Holy Spirit in the Temple and those other things you mentioned does not mean that the Holy Spirit was not simultaneously with Jesus – and a million other places at the time.
 
In Mt 27:50 of the RSV it says:
And Jesus cried again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit.

The Greek here is Aphiemi, which means to:
  1. to send away
    a. to bid going away or depart
    1. of a husband divorcing his wife
    b. to send forth, yield up, to expire
Not taken but yielded.

What is the word used here for Spirit? I am pretty sure the Scripture does not refer to the Holy Spirit but rather the animating spirit that all men have. But I don’t know Greek. 😃

The term use here is “Pneuma”
Clicking on the term will show the definition by Strong.

Nah - I was just being lazy and not copying the whole darn list of definitions.
But if you’d like a link to the web-page where I go to get these I’d be happy to oblige. It is really useful

Peace
